  • Patent number: 12766944
    Abstract: A support assembly for a radiator of a work machine. The radiator is fluidly coupled to one or more heat sources of the work machine for heat transfer between the radiator and the heat sources. The support assembly includes a structure configured to support the radiator and pivotally move with respect to a main frame of the work machine to facilitate a swinging movement of the radiator between a first position and a second position along a plane, P, defined by a longitudinal axis disposed along a length, L, of the work machine and by a transverse axis disposed along a width, W, of the work machine. In the second position, the radiator clears a path, M, for accessing or removing a power source from the work machine without having to disconnect the radiator from the heat sources of the work machine.

  • Publication number: 20240360644
    Abstract: A boom assembly for a machine is provided. The boom assembly comprises a mount, a boom, and a linear actuator. The boom comprises an upper end configured to be connected to an arm, a lower end that is pivotably connected to the mount about a mount-boom pivot, an actuator attachment point located between the upper end and the lower end of the boom, and a bifurcated portion of the boom comprising two legs. The bifurcated portion extends between the actuator attachment point and the lower end of the boom. The linear actuator comprises a first end that is pivotably connected to the mount about a mount-actuator pivot, and an opposing second end that is pivotably connected to the boom at the actuator attachment point. The linear actuator is connected between the boom and the mount in a plane normal to an axis of rotation of the boom about the mount-actuator pivot, wherein the plane extends between the two legs of the boom.
